Brett,

/"Jack sync between Rosegarden & Ardour works very well" /- I don't 
share this experience. For example, when setting Ardour's time master to 
jack and looping a range makes Ardour stutter, use up 100% CPU time and 
-before the beta 12 release- crash ardour completely.

Rosegarden uses KDE, which I find very irritating for an application. 
IMHO, applications should use a toolkit, not a desktop environment.

Learning yet another application and the stacking of different windows 
while editing a single project are not on the top of my wish list...

I have tried a combination of Ardour and Hydrogen, but I didn't get BPM 
changes to work correctly (and of course the 
loop-playing-crash/misbehaviour)


-H-



PS, this specific thread is intended to show gratitude to Paul and his 
team for releasing a much more stable beta version of my DAW-to-be, not 
to hear me whine about my personal dislikes of Ardour, and the linking 
possibilities using jack. Please do not reply to it anymore...
